Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite
Liked Great setting, good for walks to Symonds Yat and through the Forest of Dean. Friendly staff and easy access.
Disliked Not enough attention to detail in shower and toilet blocks. Broken/ missing hooks and a lack of seating.

Primitive grass campsite
Liked Views, friendly staff, possibility to start hiking from the camp, no need to drive anywhere
Disliked Not being able to have a fire in the evening . The site is large enough so they could have designed safely built fire pits, away from the trees. This was major downfall. Bad WiFi signal if you are camping away from the reception.

Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite
Liked Very pretty surroundings, big pitches
Disliked Toilets and showers need updating and need a separate space to get changed without everything getting soaked.
It obviously ideal for ramblers / dog walkers etc

Good site with clean facilities.
Powered grass campsite
Liked Views were amazing. The showers and toilets were alright and kept clean. There’s plenty of space to pitch and feel away from other visitors. There was a slight hill where we pitched, but it wasn’t an issue as it was level enough to pitch
Disliked Some of the staff were a bit pedantic, but it didn’t ruin anything.

Enjoyed our stay here - would definitely recommend.

Liked Very friendly and informative staff, clean toilets and showers, discount for solo traveller!
Disliked Not a dislike as such but the WiFi not recognised? Misspelt on the leaflet (should read Bracelands NOT Braceland?) it was a bit annoying as I was there for an event at the Dean Trail Centre and needed to check for updates, had to wait til the morning when I left so I could get 4G
